The Adelanto Elementary School District held its regular Board of Education meeting on June 9, 2026. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the procurement and evaluation process for the Extended Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP), including after-school and summer programs. The board reviewed the Request for Proposal (RFP) process, which involved a diverse committee of staff, parents, and community stakeholders who evaluated multiple vendors based on criteria such as innovation, alignment with educational goals, safety, inclusivity, and cost. After thorough presentations and public comments, the board approved the contract with Think Together to provide comprehensive before-school, after-school, and non-instructional day programs. Additionally, the board discussed and approved an increase in the health and welfare benefit cap for classified employees and addressed concerns regarding the contract with EPIC for remote speech-language pathology services, noting the high costs and the need for competitive bidding in the future. The meeting also included discussions on budget transparency, conference request procedures, and plans for community listening sessions to enhance public engagement. Several motions related to contract approvals and budget items were passed by the board during the meeting.
